Hi Foamers

after trying several times to compile qt 4.6.4 from https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/I...M-1.7.1/Ubuntu
I still get an error message like on the attachment

Iam using QMake version 2.01a
Qt version 4.8.1 in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu

How do i fix it? Thanks for your help

Quick answer: Can you please try installing the packages listed here: http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/requirements-x11.html
Namely by running this command:

sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libx11-dev libxcursor-dev libxext-dev libxfixes-dev libxft-dev libxi-dev libxrandr-dev libxrender-dev

Bruno thanks for your help. Now qt 4.6.4 already installed. But after continuing the next step to the last , I can not run OpenFOAM and also paraview.
Take a look at the attachment.

Greetings Makayasa,

Sorry, back when I wrote the instructions on the wiki, I failed to notice an important step. I've fixed the issue on the wiki page, but please do the following steps to solve the problem on your side:

1. Make sure you have the shell environment for OpenFOAM 1.7.1 activate.
2. Since you are using the 32-bit installation, please run the following commands:
   

   cd $WM_PROJECT_DIR
   #update rules' files
   wget "https://raw.github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.x/master/wmake/rules/linuxGcc45/c" -O wmake/rules/linuxGcc/c
   wget "https://raw.github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.x/master/wmake/rules/linuxGcc45/c++" -O wmake/rules/linuxGcc/c++
    
   #fix the rules' files
   sed -i -e 's/gcc/\$(WM_CC)/' wmake/rules/linuxGcc/c
   sed -i -e 's/g++/\$(WM_CXX)/' wmake/rules/linuxGcc/c++

   Because this will fix the missing details needed for building OpenFOAM 1.7.1.
3. Next, we need to clean up the build and then build things again:
   

   #clean up the installation, to avoid contamination
   wcleanAll
   
   # This next command will take a while... somewhere between 30 minutes to 3-6 hours.
   ./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1
    
   #Run it a second time for getting a summary of the installation
   ./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1

As for ParaView, I'll edit this post once I've finished with the tests I'm doing right now in a virtual machine with Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit.


edit: Please try running the following command, for installing Mesa's libGLU development package, which should provide at least the basis for the OpenGL drivers:

sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev

Then try again building ParaView, by running:

cd $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR

./makeParaView -qmake ${WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR}/platforms/$WM_ARCH$WM_COMPILER/qt-4.6.4/bin/qmake > mkPV.log 2>&1

Then please provide again the file "mkPV.log", so that I can double-check if things worked as intended.

Best regards,
Bruno
